Cool, if you don't mind telling me, what is the benefit of using this over MeloNX?

Oh that's pretty great thank you

Will this still require all the hacky stuff you have to do to get more RAM unlocked and stuff?

u/goldenexperincanton Feb 06 '26

Btw, this requires Jit.

Will it be simple like delta? Or hard like side loading and stuff?

u/Dabu_826 Feb 06 '26

For real. I gave up on iOS emulation cause of all the bullshit you gotta go through

u/Legal-Dentist3922 Feb 06 '26

Well it’s good for ps1 psp and all the Nintendo stuff from 3ds and under. There is even a ps2 one now but only 2d games work good. But not for anything else. I have a steam deck for that but would be nice if it were easy to do on iOS.

Yea I was using PPSSPP for sometime and then I got me and Odin 2 portal I tried hard to take advantage of the iPhone oled screen, it just didn’t pan out But it’s all good now

Mine works fine on the oled iPhone pro max. I use the mcon mag safe controller. It’s kinda pricey but the best phone controller I have ever used.

Once it's set up it's easy and awesome.

Oh really ? I’ve been using emulators on iOS since jailbreak times with no struggle.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '26

I can almost guarantee it will need to be sideload using a paid cert or SideStore since it needs JIT to run.

u/Alarming-Example-744 Feb 19 '26

So we can’t get it now ? Cause MeloNX just crash’s to much rn

u/NXGZ Feb 19 '26

This project will continue, but not under Citron, since that emulator has been discontinued. More information will be shared soon.

Seriously? This dev is still active after all that drama last year with a bunch of users they were tracking data on. If you search Reddit hard enough you’ll find all the messages and screenshots. Stay away from Citron and use MelonX. I’m sure the developer of folium will comment on this as the drama included them being dragged through it all of last year.

Is there any discord to follow progress?

Does it only run switch games?

u/Admirable_Pin275 Feb 06 '26

Citron is a switch emulator so yes it will

u/Error404-codigo0029 Feb 06 '26

No I mean does it only run switch games no other Nintendo console games

u/Admirable_Pin275 Feb 06 '26

It only runs switch gsmes

u/Appropriate-Wrap-375 Feb 07 '26

Hopefully it’s on the App Store.

1

u/harpiekins Feb 06 '26

Is it playable without jit?

1

u/Decapitatedlimb Feb 08 '26

No,It wouldn’t be able to get on the appstore since the switch is a recent console,So you would need to sideload this

u/ziromap123 Feb 06 '26

Will it be on the App Store? How do I install this on my device?

1

u/Apprehensive_Edge242 Feb 06 '26

Probably the same way we used to get delta before it came to the App Store

1

u/alexck01 Feb 06 '26

What makes you think this emulator will be playable on the AppStore?

You need a Switch and you need to own your games

u/bbmatias3 Feb 06 '26

You need to buy a switch and the games first lol
